Serenes Forest's Teehee Thread

That's a rather unfortunate title.

Just look at the lyrics of this...

EF1 before Exceed is the only truly necessary connection. The rest is me being informative, and intentionally overwhelming🤪.

-Course, I forgot the obscure Japan-only Super Famicom RPG Gaia Saver is also slightly relevant to Exceed. B/c for some unexplained reason, Banpresto felt like throwing Mark Hunter with a remix of his game's main theme in there.

No more than the term "Summa Cum Laude". And I don't giggle at that, since I left undergrad with highest honors and have been sitting on my degree doing absolutely nothing with it since.

Oh i just thought he was an OC.

@Lorneus In Wildermyth, after I scout a new area that’s occupied by the gorgons, I have the option to attack the town/settlement there, represented by a red banner, or attack some gorgons on the field, represented by a little token with a picture of the gorgons. Doing both has the same result in that, after the battle, I have to claim/protect/whatever it’s called the town/settlement to stop gorgons from coming back, so what’s the difference between these two options? Is there any?

*Reading the video comments*

Eh, the creator of AoT is a big AC fan? Huh, interesting...

Same here. Gaia Saver is super obscure, and not yet translated.

It doesn't necessarily have to be Mark Hunter's Gaia Saver self either. It's possible, I don't remember if the text gives any indication, but it's entirely feasible it's a separate OGverse Mark Hunter native to the Endless Frontier.

This said, listen to the very first one minute of this:

and this:

Took some time to realize it was the same track.

[Acacia Sgt]

There's certainly a Compati Heroes presence in Exceed...

Exceed version sounds more Tokusatsu tho.

I think the banner just showcases the action and you can do the action on the field directly if you prefer. I don't think there's any difference between the two. Attacking the region attacks the enemies present on that region, so it really seems just like a UI tool more than anything.

[Armagon]

Oh yeah

Fallen Order is a pretty game.

[Sooks]

Wild trap and guardian is such a fun combination. It’s cool that your characters’ skills can synergize like that, if you position them correctly.

[Sooks]

I actually got a good ending! I didn’t get the best ending (probably), but I saved the world. So yeah, I am good.

[Acacia Sgt]

Agh, I'm so close to finishing a Writing.com chapter... must not end up wasting the night dragging it on...

[Saint Rubenio]

Goddamnit, Youtube. They took down the channel that uploaded the extended soundtrack of Vandal Hearts 2.

20 hours is the average playtime, as Sooks already told you.

Glad to see someone else picking this up, by the way. Excellent game, right there.

So why did people ever think Armagon isn't horny, when this is literally every single one of the games he likes?

But Ruben, that was just the short tutorial story. I still have four more campaigns to play through.

I think that campaign has only one ending safe from game over. Some others have certain choices to get different endings, but let's say they're rather obvious generally.

I'd say the Morthagi has the worst narrative and hardest combat, the one with the best narrative is the Drauven and the combat is kinda middling, The Thrixl one has both rather difficult combat (especially because of numbers) and an intriguing narrative and the deepists have the easiest combat with a good enough narrative. So for experience curve, I'd recommend Deepist > Drauven > Thrixl > Morthagi and for entertainment I'd recommend Drauven > Thrixl > Deepist > Morthagi. Either way, I'd always recommend Morthagi last. I did that as my first campaign (I started the gorgon with my brother and tried out other scenarios while we weren't playing together) and it wasn't the most fun experience.

I mean, the world was brought to the brink of destruction presumably because I failed the time limit in chapter 2. But maybe that always happens, idk.

I was just going to hop into Morthagi because it’s the first one on the list.

Looks like I should go with Deepist then.

So Microsoft bought Acti-Blizzard today. I did not expect that.

A faint coating of snow and some flurries, an unexpected de-light this morning!☃️❄️

And then as soon as the sun came out, much of it in a blink of an eye melted away. Nature's state of flux is wondrous.

"Horizontal integration" to put it in sterile terms, although many would say it's an alarming step towards monopoly, given the unprecedented size of the purchase. 

I wasn't personally shocked on hearing this, since I stick to Japanese games. And Activision-Blizzard is also bogged down by controversies and everything is dead or dying except CoD commenters have said. Still, the monopolistic fears aren't unwarranted, and Sony is probably in the midst of a heart attack at the prospect of losing CoD. 

The natural course of human nature married to economics has always been a want for monopoly among those making the profits. The guilds of medieval Europe attempted to monopolize their trades, being very anticompetitive. What has changed, is the capacity for scale, as the technological means to support larger and larger organizations has grown, at a pace able to counteract the expansion of the average human being's ability to explore the world and choose the markets in which they are engaged. I should not be surprised that fellow members of our species would do this in our era, for it is no different from any other.

I will admit, I didn't react the same way I do at another Tencent acquisition. But then, given the direction present politics are headed, I'll see little reason in some years to panic at Tencent buyouts. As what those bimbos at Microsoft, Disney, Google, Facebook, and Amazon don't yet realize, is the the Legitimate Armed Force Monopoly which we call "government", if it so desires, can buyout their top positions. Or else.🔫 Therefore, whilst we may be concerned about pure private sector monopoly right now, we've a few more years before things become an oligarchic conglomerate where politicians and businessmen might as well be fused into a single creature.😄
